Mr. Underwood's Task.
The tariff hearings in progress before
the ways and moans committee are repotting
an old story. Business believes in
protection. It has profited by the policy,
and wants it continued Now it is a republican
in business who speaks, and now
a democrat. The plea from both is about
the p;imf. fonpross is besought not to
lower the bars in any quarter where foreign
lompetition would injure domestic
interests.
This plea has been beard many times,
and has never been without effect on
( "'ingress. Twenty-five years afro, when
Mr. Mills of Texas, a democrat, presided
over ways and means, the tariff revision
proposed took account of protection.
Two years later, Mr. McKinley, a
republican, prepared and passed a tariff
bill frankly protective. Four years later
than that. Mr. Wilson, a democrat, prepared
and passed a tariff bill carrying
protection in many schedules. And three
years after that came the Dingley bill,
which holds the record for success ?as a
law. and which was protective up to tlie
: i ilt.
Protection, then, whether the tariff re\
i.-ers were democrats or republicans, has
always been recognized. And it will be
recognized again. Mr. Underwood could
-not if he would, and would not if he
?uld. pass through the next House a tariff
bill framed strictly upon the contentions
of those who talk fluently about a
tariff for revenue only. Such a measure, ,
if enacted into law, would close mills and
mines in every direction, and All city (
streets and country roads with idle men.
The country would be lowered to a soup- ]
iiouse basis almost immediately.
.Mr. Underwood's task?and his party in .
next year's congressional elections will
be judged by the way he has executed it?
is to lower duties so as not to cut the (
ground from under any deserving American
industry. He is reasonably certain
not to proceed upon the proposition that
protection is unconstitutional and can be (
and should be dispensed with at once. t
There are democrats out of office and ,
without responsibility who hold forth in (
tiiat strain between campaigns, but even (
t ev, when the pinch comes, modify their ?
demands. Observe how small they are ,
singing now. Observe shortly how little j
they will complain when Mr. Underwood's ,
program is revealed.
There always has been, there is now,
there always will be, a good deal of huggermugger
about tariff revision. Betw.en
the irresponsible stump speaker ,
arning his campaign stipend, and the responsible
legislator alive to his obligations
and informed as to the facts. Is a ;
great difference, and Mr. Underwood Is
on the eve of measuring It. Watch him
apply the tape line.
The Public Utilities Bill.
The bill for the creation, for the benefit
of the people of the District of Columbia
and for the benefit of the corporations
operating here, of a public utilities commission
hangs tire in Congress because
, of differences of opinion between the
Senate and the House upon certain details
not vital to the main purpose of
ti measure. The conference agreement
f the Senate and House 011 the loan I
shark bill furnishes an excellent prece- i
dt-nt for those national legislators favoring
a commission for the supervision of 1
public utilities in the District, and encourages
the hope of citizens that Congress
will not much longer delay the cn___u.
nn> nt of tills 1 m port ait t and meritorious
measure merely because sundry details
acceptable in one wing of the Capitol
are not acceptable in the other. Disagreement
of this kind plays into the
hands of those opposed to the public suner
vision of utilities proposed in this
hill.
lhach branch of Congress favors the
creation of a public utilities commission.
The time for argument of the main question
as to whether there should or should
not be a commission has passed. The advocates
of the commission are in the ascendency.
A few matters of minor importance
compared with the. central idea,
the wisest solution of which should by
this time have developed from the long
discussion, separate the two chambers.
There would be lack of statesmanship if
?t situation <>i tins nature snouia i>e permitted
to endure. Constructive statesmanship
should certainly devise a plan
for harmonizing: these differences of
opinion. There is no doubt in the minds
of citizens that such a compromise will
ultimately he reached, but every day of
delay postpones the good results which it
Is believed will flow from writing into
the statutes the public utilities bill.

Mr. Bryan Speaks.
MV. Bry&n h&8 broken his silence on
the subject of the mention of his name In
connection with the Wilson cabinet, lie
says In the Commoner:
"Mr. Bryan has been abundantly rewarded
for all he has done. If he ever
holds any office^ It ought to be given
with the view to the service that can be
rendered, not with the Idea of rewarding
him for anything he has done."
True, to the letter. No man In our history
has ever had a more abundant reward
fur his political activity. At the
time Mr. IVyan became the leader of the
democratic i>arty his reputation, while at
tractive, was local, and his means small,
lie was Known as a lecturer and stump
Speaker in portions of the south and the
middle west, and his earnings from all
Sources w. ere meager.
Then came the Chicago speech and
jtoiniaatiuu, for President, the leap Into
P
wide fame, and subsequently the establishment
of a prosperous weekly publication.
Today he Is known all over the
world, enjoys an Income of generous size,
supports three home , one in Nebraska,
one In Florida, and one in Texas, and
thoroughly deserves his good fortune.
Every dollar has come legitimately,. and
by the honest exercise of unusual talents.
A long period of sunsnine has enabled
Mr. Bryan to harvest a large crop of hay.
As for service to be rendered the democracy,
now that the party Is coming
Into full power, who could render more
in office than Mr. Bryan? lie has shown
the way to success. It Is Bryanism
that has conquered. Mr. Wilson himself
has confessed as much, and the platform
which i? to tnsnire action. legislative and
otherwise, was almost wholly constructed
by Mr. Bryan.
This supports the proposition that Mr.
Bryan should be Mr. Wilson's premier.
He is more familiar than Mr. Wilson
himself with what has been promised the
country in the name of the democracy.
While Mr. Wilson and many other democrats
were groping and protesting and
pulling back. Mr. Bryan was pushing on
In the course he had laid, and resisting
all efforts to balk him or turn him aside.
At last he brought the kickers and the
stragglers into line, and fortune favoring
by the division of the opposition, he
came out of the long struggle victorious.
As a matter of fact. Mr. Bryan won
more in November than Mr. Wilson. He
saw not only the man of his choice elected
President, but a platform of principles
adopted representing much for which he
had for years been contending. He had
fought hard, been often repulsed and severely
censured by a powerful faction of
his party, but, at last, here he was vindicated
at the polls and praised in public
bv the titular head of the democracy as
the wisest ami most steadfast member of
the organization.
The Secretaryship of State would add
little to Mr. Bryan's fame and nothing
at all to his fortune, but his acceptance
of the post would secure for the Wilson
administration the ablest and most consistent
exponent of Bryanism In the
country.
Washington Symphony Orchestfa.
The Washington Symphony Orchestra
is one of the useful and cultural organizations
of the National t'apital. In its
career there has been a groat deal of distinction
and many tribulations, but in
the latter respect it is not unique among
musical organizations. Since the foundation
of this orchestra in 1901 it has
presented to the Washington public numerous
concerts of a character in keeping
with the high ideals of the promoters.
patrons, players and conductor whose
joint efforts have made this orchestra
possible. The Washington orchestra has
had prosperous years and lean years?the
latter, unfortunately for it and the Washington
public, being rather too numerous.
It seems not to be in the nature of things
that symphony orchestras should be
profitable in the sense of making money.
The orchestras that have carried the
musical fame of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago to all corners
5f musical America have not been money
makers. They are enabled to subsist,
to carry out their mission and to deliver
their musical message only by the liberal
patronage of the general public and by
the special and generous patronage of
hat more restricted public hich feels
:he utility of lending practical aid to
:he advancement of art. Symphony orchestras
do not live and maintain themselves
without guarantee or endowment,
rhese being the conditions under which
such a useful institution must subsist, it
is reasonable that Washington, with its
great sum of culture, education and
wealth, should not lag behind. Even
Minneapolis. St. Paul, Cincinnati, SL
Louis, San Francisco and Dallas, Tex.,
maintain an orcnestra, and nna its encouragement
worth the price.
The music lovers and other public-spirited
citizens of the capital should not
permit the Washington Symphony to
languish or to exist in a precarious way,
supported by a few art patrons. The
work of maintenance should be much
more widely distributed than it is. The
Washington Symphony is deserving of
praise and support. It has its part to
play in the development of musical culture
in the new world.
Coal Shortage.
It is uncomfortable news that Washington
is face to face with a coal
famine, though it is a situation of
which coal buyers and coal sellers have
been cognizant for some time. It would,
Indeed, be unusual for a winter to pass
without there being raised the question
of a coal shortage. It is an annual
story. Kach season fluent and ready
reasons for a coal shortage are given,
and usually there is a remarkable
similarity between the reasons. The
trouble always seems to be with the
mines and the railroads. In The Star
last evening the r<_ .sons given were
"inability to secure cars from the
mines and the shortage resulting from
last spring s shut-down in the anthracite
mining region." and the cheering information
is given out on the authority
of numerous coal dealers that "should
a prolonged season of had weather with
severe cold set in conditions are such
mat great sunering surely would occur
in Washington from lack of fuel."
With a coal shortage. January here.
February and March approaching, and
the weather bureau predicting cold
waves, the situation demands a good
display of philosophy to contemplate
with equanimity. With the conditions
as stated by the local coal dealers,
householders should practice careful
economy in the use of fuel and draw
coal from the dealers at every opportunity.
To wait until the coal bin is
empty before ordering may subject many
ci'izens to annoyance and discomfort.
The fact that Amundsen and Peary pursued
their professional activities at opposite
ends of the eartli renders it agn*eably
sure that they can meet wit hunt
danger of any serious controversial exchanges.
Preparations for the woman suffrage
parade indicate that a pace will be set
that will require some activity to keep
the main inaugural pageant up to its
proper level of importance.
Likelihood of a discussion of W. J.
Bryan at a conference of democratic
leaders may be lessened by a certain apprehension
that Bryan might not like
what was said.
When a cold wave is predicted anv un
reliability that the weather service may
develop becomes its chief charm.
Before locating: a trust of any kind it
is, of course, necessr-y to ascertain
whether such a trust exists.

President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard,

of the authorities who says that American
base ball is doing great things for the
harmonization of China. Younger generations

they slay grandmothers In profusion,

lychee nuts and popped millet and root
for the home nine, while millions of
others stand up on the teakwood seats

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
A Student.
"Is your boy a good student?"
"Yes," replied Mr. Cumrox. "To a certain
extent. The way he gets his mother
and me to put up with his expense
accounts shows that he's a wonderful
student of human nature."
"One o' de mos' tryln* people I knows
of," said Uncle Kben, "is a man who
thinks he's energetic when he's only jes'
fidgety."
Reckless Quotations.
A statesman heard with helpless dread
A speech with strange quotations
fraught
And wondered how he could have said
So much he hadn't even thought.
Going Away Back.
"The automobile has caused many
chances."
"I should say so," replied Mr. Chugglns;
"why 1 can remember when, once
In a while, you'd hear of somebody being
arrested for driving a horse too fast or
for scorching on a bicycle."
The trouble with a man who Is his own
boss is that his help is liable to take liberties
and loaf on the job.
Nirvana.
Jes' sittin' still fur a minute or two,
l^ettin' the world buzz away.
As you welcome the shadows that gather

And wait fur the close of the day;
Watehin' the Are as it flickers an" glows,
iiearin" the wind's sullen call,
An" not carin' much 'bout how anything
goes?
Jes' sittin' still an' that's all.
I^ttin' yer mind drift along with the
blaze
To follow the sparks as they fly
Out with the moonlight that fitfully
strays
Through the clouds that are crossin'
the sky;
Out through the year that is hurryin'
fast
To where memories sorrow and smile;
The toil is repaid by the pleasure at last
Of jes' slttin' still fur a while.
Market for War Materials.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Notwithstanding the extensive and
generously endowed, peace propaganda
directed by enthusiasts who consider the
time ripe for putting an end to war by
negotiation of all-embracing arbitration
agreements, the market for war materials
was seldom if ever more active than
now.

Corsets Designed Especially for Wear
With Evening and JDecoliete Gowns.
Corsets for evening- wear, to be correct, must master
fully and support correctly the figure below the waist line.
The entire upper part of the figure should appear soft
and unconfined; it is absolutely essential that there should
be no suggestion of corset lines to mar the dre<?.
Our models are specially designed of soft, flexible
materials, such as figured silk batiste, broche and tricot,
and very few bones are used, so that each model brings
out the natural lines of the figure, yet so supporting and
restricting it as to impart most pleasing results.
We cite these as being excellent examples !
in Correct Corset Designing for evening wear.

silk batiste with low bust and long hip.
